GOOD FOR YOU! Its great when you have a loss, but even greater when the clothes start fitting better or we can drop a size! Keep up the good work!

You really REALLY need more than 1200 per day. You body needs a certain amount of calories each day just to function. Seriously, you will not have any energy to do simple daily tasks if you dont.

Two pounds a week is a good weight loss! Seriously, congratulate yourself!

Its water.... and the cure for that is.... Drink Water! Same thing happens to me when I have pizza. I can gain 5-8 pounds overnight.

Grilled Salmon Steamed yellow squash with onions and green peppers Raw pineapple And a glass.. or two... of wine. Yep, its been that kinda day

I walk, as fast as I can, or turn on a video from the net, run in place, anything really.

I used to get them frequently.... and bananas is the answer. I dont eat one every day, but even one every other day will help

There isnt too much I wont eat, except tho I just cant get my head wrapped around mushrooms, califlower, or liver. Im not a big sweet eater, I can go 6 months or more without touching chocolate. But Pizza.... is a total Red Light for me. Left to my own devices I will eat an entire 12 inch by myself.

Somewhere between 1400-1500, depends on how heavy the exercise is. If Im hungry Ill eat back about half of my exercise calories, if not I save them till the weekend and go out, have a glass of wine etc.

"did the hormonal replacement therapy you were probably taking since your ovaries were removed have big negatives?" I never took them. Sure, I had some hot flashes and night sweats, but nothing I couldnt handle.

The ones most recently heard include: "You know, you NOT 30 anymore, so why are you trying to look it?" Um... I know how flippin old I am, Im 57, since when is there an expiration date of trying to be healthy? Your going through menopause, all women gain weight during menopause. (This from a doctor!) Uh...actually Doc, I…

I've had that challenge. 1 overweight hub and 3 overweight kids who were not interested in getting healthy with me. There isnt anything wrong with sweets, soul food and take out, its just as to be in moderation. You can also try searching the net for "recipe make overs" of some of you families favorites. My kids and hub…

With some, too many carbs = increased blood sugar = uncontrolled diabetes. Most diabetic have to watch their carbs very closely to control their blood sugar.

Ive NEVER heard of a doctor telling a patient to eat 500 cals two days a week, but then Doc's don't get a heck of a lot of training in nutrition.... if any. Your body needs a certain amount of calories each day to just to function.... 500 cals dont even come close to supplying what you need. 4-5 stones (56-70 pounds) is a…

I eat about half of my exercise calories back. If I've been really really active that day I might eat all of them but that only happens about once a week or so.

Dutch, my Belgian Tervuren, requires a good bit of exercise, at least an hour a day. If he doesnt get his exercise he acts sooooooo offended.... and just sits in front of me and stares. If that doesnt work he "huffs" like a little old man. So... we walk a lot, along with playing chase, throwing balls for him to fetch etc.…

Gentle cleanser and make sure you put a good moisturizer (with at least SPF 15) on religiously. I waited until I was in my 50's to take care of my skin... dont wait that long. Checkout Paula's Choice products. Very gentle stuff, nothing in them that can cause irritation, and they make your skin feel awesome.

Hi all! Im Trin. Ive been on MFP for a couple of years off and on. I lost almost 60 pounds three years ago, but due to work related travel (a lot of it!) about 30 has been regained. I want to feel as terrific as I did when I had that 60 off... and have the energy to do my job. So, I'm back at it! I had success before but…

I have been doing zumba for 3 years. Im not a spring chicken. Sometimes I cant do the steps or moves as quickly as some of the others. I cant do the lunges, knees just wont allow that. BUT... if its something that I cant do... I just MOVE.... step in time with the rest of the group. LOL... I make up my own steps and move…

My Friend P, who faithfully goes to Zumba twice a week, and who will point out that my "too big" jeans look tacky, and make me go shopping. My co-worker who has this 6th sense of when I am running late in the morning and shows up with greek yogurt and fruit or something else tasty and healthy. The last person... really…

38F/G... Bertel rocks!

Pizza... always pizza.......

Cokeaholic here... left of my own devices I would go through 2.5 liters a day. Switching to Coke Zero helped me. It tastes as close to real Coke as I can find. Failing that, Diet Pepsi will suffice. What I've done is allow myself a couple of glasses of Coke Zero in the morning (GOTTA have that caffine hit... I hate coffee)…

Absolutely ON TARGET. I was just commenting on what worked for me. 1500 cals per day may not be enough for you. But for me its enough most days. The suggestion for switching up the up the exercise is excellent. Your body does get used to the same thing every day.

ok.. this is a keeper!

I usually just walk, either outside or on a treadmill when the weather is bad. I have "1" song on my player that gets me seriously motivated while walking. Its LONG.. like 7 minutes....By a group called Seven Nations - Campbell's Farewell to Redcastle/Cristo Wraps the Reichstag Its got a nice change of beat, that really…

I lost 53 pounds a couple of years ago on MFP.... Gained 20 of it back this last year. Reasons? Laid off from work for three months. Bored and ate WAY more than I should have. New Job (YEA!) requires me to be a Road Warrior (BOO).. but hey!.. it pays the bills and is interesting :) The big down side of the new job is I…

An ounce of walnuts or almonds as a snack during the day or a bit of cheese (I pack an ounce or two of gouda for work) I skip the low cal yogurt, there really isnt much difference.

Yesterday Breakfast was a fried egg (used cooking spray) on an English muffin, Yogurt, fresh pineapple, a Lunch was a spinach salad with half a boiled egg, diced turkey and salad dressing Dinner was grilled chicken, green beans, carrots, a dinner roll and some strawberries with lowcal whipped cream for desert

Hi Janelle Believe it or not, I loose weight much easier if I DO eat at least my basic 1500 calories a day. Like you I went for a long long time not eating because of the job. It didnt do my body any favors. Now that Im OLD (laughing) Im paying for it. So please, take care of your body NOW.. dont wait like I did. Some of…
